Antonine Wall

142 · 2nd century

The Antonine Wall was a Roman turf rampart built across the Forth–Clyde isthmus of central Scotland from 142 on the orders of Emperor Antoninus Pius. It marked the northern frontier of Roman Britain for about twenty years before the army withdrew to Hadrian's Wall. It crossed the land of the Damnonii and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
